All the eight episodes of Aarya’s second season have been streamed on Disney Plus Hotstar. As for the expectations, Aarya 2 has joined the few series whose other seasons did not disappoint. Although the scale that was expected for Aarya 2 is not visible, but in terms of entertainment, Aarya 2 seems to be successful. Holds the series and once you sit to watch, then you will get up only after finishing it.

Aarya Season 2 The Story

The story of Aarya 2 story starts from where the first season ended. In the last season’s climax, it was shown that Aarya is leaving the country with her three children and going to New Zealand. From this climax, it was thought that the story of the second season would show Aarya’s confrontation with the enemies on a foreign land, but here the writers showed their skills and gave such a twist to the story that she returns to the same city of Rajasthan, where the first season The incidents had happened and the same old enemies and conspiracies once again stand in front of Aarya.

Her father Zorabar and brother Sangram are facing trial for the murder of Aarya’s husband Tej Sareen and drug dealing. But Aarya’s testimony is necessary to corroborate the pen drive that the police have as evidence to get them punished. The lives of Aarya and her children were in danger in New Zealand. Therefore, ACP Yunus Khan had Aarya shifted to Australia under the Witness Protection Program.

In return for Aarya’s help, the public prosecutor and the ACP pressure her to verify the evidence against the father and brother in court. Aarya reaches the court to testify, but when Sangram’s girlfriend Hina is revealed to be pregnant, she refutes the veracity of the documents in the pendrive, leaving Jorabar and Sangram free. ACP Khan is enraged by Aarya’s backlash and withdraws the Witness Protection Program.

Now Aarya is alone among her enemies. On one hand there is danger from his family and on the other hand Shekhawat’s family is looking for an opportunity to take revenge from him. At the same time, the Russian mafia is also behind Aarya due to the disappearance of drugs worth 300 crores stolen from Shekhawat. However, Aarya does not have a direct hand in this. Now how does Aarya survive all this? How does she protect her children? The story of how she saves herself from the intrigues of her father and the attacks of the Shekhawat family is spread across eight episodes.

Aarya Season 2 Review and Analysis

The biggest strength of Aarya web series is its writing, which has a simplicity and departure. The dialogues of the characters and their delivery by the actors are flowing and so smooth that the viewer seems to be sitting somewhere in the middle of that conversation and that is what connects the series. There are some twists in the series from time to time, which keep the interest. Especially, the twist of the climax will surprise the audience. In the first season, Aarya’s character was revealed as a victim, who is ready to go to any extent to save her children from crime and criminals.

Aarya remains in this form for most of the second season, but as the second season moves towards its climax, Aarya’s tenacity and attitude change. Now instead of running away, she takes the situation into her own hands and thus turns into a powerful character. The turn at which the second season has ended, the knock of the third season is also felt. Sushmita Sen has done wonders in the character of Aarya this time too. Doing this series can be called the best decision of his career. Surrounded by enemies from all sides, Aarya, who has her own ambushes on her, a mother dealing with the emotional ups and downs of children… Sushmita has successfully carved the various layers of this character.

Jayant Kriplani as Zorabar, who is battling cancer’s father and daughter Aarya, tries to save her from her own brother, despite the hatred of her father and daughter Aarya, this time the anger is less pity. Ankur Bhatia as younger brother Sangram Singh making plans to kill his real sister for survival has to be praised. He didn’t let his character derail even for a moment and the hatred he gets for this character is his reward.

Vikas Kumar has performed well in the role of ACP Khan, surrounded by his personal life and professional complications. However, the track of this character’s gay relationship does not fit in and support the main plot. Even if it is removed, Aarya’s structure will not deteriorate. The audience, lost in the thrill of Aarya’s life, keeps hoping that this track will have a connection with the main track, but it does not happen. It seems, the authors just added it for ideological support.

Aarya Season 2: Star Performances

Another artist left a different mark of his performance in the second season. This is Sugandha Garg, who plays Sangram’s girlfriend Hina. The way this character is emotionally and ideologically unstable, it is not easy to play, but Sugandha has played it brilliantly. Vishwajit Pradhan, Sikandar Kher, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Akash Khurana, Sohela Kapoor in the rest of the supporting characters have done their job well and helped in bringing out the lead characters.

Like the song Bade Achhe Lagte Hain through Chandrachud Singh’s character in the first season of Aarya, this time too the use of old Hindi songs in different situations makes the scenes appealing. At times, it adds a touch of humor to the scenes. Ram Madhvani’s direction is Kadasa and to the point. The series doesn’t seem to give up its line anywhere.

Aarya Season 2 Review The Last Words

The second season of Aarya is once again the canvas of Sushmita Sen in which she is seen shining. A mother with her three children, a disgruntled daughter who dislikes her father, and a concerned sister, friend and confidante. Sushmita plays her part honestly, making Aarya a mind-blowing character. Sikandar Kher has played the role of Zorawar Rathod’s loyalist and Arya’s well-wisher in a wonderful way.
